anyone already been through the academy?

I’ve been hitting the gym, but I’m not going to lie I’m not in the best shape. I have stamina and I won’t quit but I’ve been worrying myself about the push ups. Will they work with us? I don’t want to fail…

[JEROD2018]

My worries is my push-ups. Trying to hit the gym more. Eating more healthier. I heard most work with you. As long as you keep moving and not just stop and quit I think we will be fine.

some PT instructor are more straight but as long as you are moving your body you will be fine. i lost 20lbs in the first 2 weeks there.... while i was there my instructor rarely do push up. just drink as much water as you can whenever u have chance. cause you will be doing PT for 60mins to 90mins each day

and bring biofreeze

[Ganzy98]

Thank you!!

What is it like for the week 7 PPT? 2 min 15 seconds feels like such a small amount of time.

Do most people make it out of the academy?

[poolearmor]

i only stayed for 2 weeks due to a medical reason. but if you can get pass the 1st week im sure you will be fine for rest of the weeks... my class had 60 ppl on the 1st day and half of the ppl quit after 1st PT. on day 1. but you dont see ppl quit after a week unless you fail the tests.

[JEROD2018]

What types of PT are done in wk1. That way I can get a better mindset? Biofreeze... is that like Icey hot?

[poolearmor]

PT are the same everyday, you will do jumping jacks , frog kicks etc, its just Basics exercise but u will be doing it none stop for 60mins to 90mins with 5sec water break every 15mins.

Biofreeze i used

and u will need to bring everything from the list that they gave you even its say optional.

[Toribird2828]

[poolearmor]

What test you have to pass? Did they quit?

you need to pass a academy test each week, you only have total of 1 chance to retake the test. if you fails for the second time you are OUT.

[Toribird2828]

What kind of test

[Toribird2828]

What kind of test is it physical or physical what ?

[Toribird2828]

What kind of academy test is it material they give you to study from like I need to know so I know what to prepare for

[GotMySix98]

Every test you take will be taught in the Academy. Many topics are covered from defensive tactics to firearms training etc etc. If your prepared mentally you will have no problem. Work as a team, encourage or motivate as a team. You will be living with at least 4 guys in a room, prepare and study. The material is all given to you and then your tested.

[Toribird2828]

Thank you for replying back and yes TEAM work and encourage each other And motivate as a team. If you want the job do the work. Thank you again
